2001

Greetings, ’01s, and happy summer! We have some classmates setting off on adventures far and wide. Others will help you stay entertained without having to leave your comfy chair.

Some ’01s are reliving or relying on college skills with their summer plans. Alisa (Beck) and Scott Harrison will be dusting off their collegelevel French skills when they rent a house in Arles, France, with their family in August. Jane (Parkin) Kullman and Karilyn Heisen are reprising a sophomore summer trip to the Second College Grant. This journey will be slightly different though, in that each will have kids in tow.

Rachel Richardson shared that she and her husband recently started a literary arts center in Berkeley, California, called Left Margin LIT. She said their “aim is to provide a central gathering place for writers and readers in the East Bay, a space for camaraderie, critique and accountability.” Right now they offer classes and events and hope to provide shared workspace for writers in the coming months. Plan a visit to Berkeley to check it out!

And for those who simply want to let the mind wander while relishing the comfort of home, we have an ’01 book recommendation. Minh Le’s debut picture book, LetMeFi?iish!, was named a “Great Read of 2016” by NPR. His second book will be published by Disney-Hyperion in the summer of 2018.

Evelyn Chen is about to embark on her new role as the class of 2001 representative to the Alumni Council. She is taking over for Camilla (Campbell) Shannon, who finishes up her term in May. Congratulations, Evelyn, and thank you, Camilla!

Finally, if you are looking to fuel the adventures of current and future wearers of the Big Green, do not forget that June 30 marks the end of Dartmouth’s fiscal year. Consider a donation to the Dartmouth College Fund.
